Light dot sight

Abstract

With a light dot sight (100) that can be affixed in the region of the surface of a breech of a firearm. The sight has a partially transparent reflector element (110) which reflects the parallel light of a light source (120) mounted on the firearm, into the eye of the shooter to focus to a point on the retina of the shooter. Obstruction of a field of view of the shooter directed to a special event is avoided in that the undersurface (111) of the partially transparent reflector element (110) has a width which has dimensions for directly and robustly anchoring the reflector element (110) in the region of the surface of the breech by means of a fastener.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A light dot sight ( 100 ), attached to a surface of a breech ( 200 ) of a firearm, and comprising:
 a light source ( 120 ) emitting divergent light; 
 a partially transparent reflector element ( 110 ), which reflects the light of the light source wherein reflected light is focused to a point on a retina of an eye of a shooter, 
 wherein: 
 the reflector element ( 110 ) is formed by a lens having:
 a convex front surface; and 
 a partially reflective concave rear surface; 
 
 the concave rear surface of the lens acts as a collimator for the divergent light of the light source ( 120 ); and 
 an undersurface ( 111 ) of the partially transparent reflector element ( 110 ) is anchored to the surface of the breech ( 200 ) by means of a fastener formed by an adhesive ( 150 ). 
 
     
     
       2. The light dot sight ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the partially transparent reflector element is shroudless. 
     
     
       3. A method for using the light dot sight ( 100 ) of  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 the partially transparent reflector element ( 110 ) collimating the divergent light emitted by the light source ( 120 ); 
 the partially transparent reflector element ( 110 ) reflecting the collimated light; and 
 the partially reflector element ( 110 ) focusing the reflected light to the point on the retina of the shooter.
